Close Bollinger Bands Crossover

Close Bollinger bands crossover is a client-side VTL indicator. This indicator is based on Bollinger bands. The idea behind Bollinger bands is when the price is above the upper band, it is too high, and a mean reversion is expected. This indicator marks a red down arrow when the price closes above the upper Bollinger band. When the price close inside the Bollinger bands after closing above the upper band, it plots a green up arrow.

This indicator is useful in short-term mean reversion trading. When the red arrow appears, consider opening a short trade and then cover the short trade when the price closes inside the band. However, in strong trends, this may fail. It is better to use these signals in rangebound market conditions.

Parameters:

1.       Period – The Bollinger band period, default is 20

2.       Deviation – The standard deviations for bands, default is 2

3.       Shift – Bar shift, default is 0

 

 

The basic assumption of Bollinger bands is price will remain inside the band most of the time, when price moves beyond the band, it will immediately come back inside the band. However, in strong trends, prices remain outside the band for longer periods before reverting inside the band. Identifying the overall market conditions before using the signals to open trades is important. In rangebound market conditions, these signals work better.

Elegant Oscillator

The elegant oscillator is client side VTL indicator. It is based on signal processing algorithms and used in mean reverting trading systems. Mean Reversion theory suggests that after an extreme price move, asset prices tend to return back to normal or average levels. Prices routinely oscillate around the mean or average price but tend to return to that same average price over and over. Mean reversion strategies open trades when price moves to extreme levels, expecting price to return to the historical mean price. This is a counter trend trading strategy.

The elegant oscillator helps in identifying extreme price levels. Elegant Oscillator is a technical indicator based on signal processing techniques. It calculates the inverse Fisher transform of price and applies the smoothing filter to it. The resulting line oscillates between the values -1.0 and +1.0. Find out the extreme levels it reached in the historical chart and open a counter trend trade when it reaches around the historical extreme levels. It is better to be used with other indicators to confirm the signals.

Parameters:

Band Edge  –  Parameter to calculate the band edge, default is 20

                Oscillator Period  - Number of bars in the indicator calculations, default is 50

Price            - Price field to calculate the indicator.  1 Close, 2 Open, 3 High, 4 Low, 5 Median, 6 Typical, 7 Weighted

 

Test the indicator on charts with different parameter values and pick the best parameter values for each instrument before using it in trading.

      Date: 14th February 2025.   Can The NASDAQ Maintain Momentum at Key Resistance Level?     The price of the NASDAQ throughout the week rose more than 3.00% to bring the price back up to the instrument’s resistance level. However, while taking into consideration higher inflation, tariffs and the resistance level, could the index maintain momentum?   US Inflation Rises For a 4th Consecutive Month The US Consumer Price Index, or inflation, rose for a 4th consecutive month taking the rate even further away from the Federal Reserve’s target. Analysts were expecting the US inflation rate to remain unchanged at 2.9%. However, consumer inflation rose to 3.00%, the highest since July 2024, while Producer inflation rose to 3.5%. Higher inflation traditionally triggers lower sentiment towards the stock market as investors' risk appetite falls and they prefer the US Dollar. However, on this occasion bullish volatility rose. For this reason, some traders may be considering if the price is overbought in the short term.   Addressing these statistics, US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged that the Fed has yet to achieve its goal of curbing inflation, adding further hawkish signals regarding the monetary policy. Other members of the FOMC also share this view. Today, Raphael Bostic, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, stated that the Fed is unlikely to implement interest rate cuts in the near future. This is due to ongoing economic uncertainty following the introduction of trade tariffs on imported goods and other policies from the Republican-led White House.   Most of the Federal Open Market Committee emphasizes additional time is needed to fully assess the situation. According to the Chicago Exchange FedWatch Tool, interest rate cuts may not start until September 2025.   What’s Driving The NASDAQ Higher? Earnings data this week has continued to support the NASDAQ. Early this morning Airbnb made public their quarterly earnings report whereby they beat both earnings per share and revenue expectations. The Earnings Per Share read 25% higher than expectations and Revenue was more than 2% higher. As a result, the stock rose more than 14%. Another company this week that made public positive earnings data is Cisco which rose by more than 2% on Thursday. Another positive factor continues to be the positive employment data. Even though the positive employment data can push back interest rate cuts, the stability in the short term continues to serve the interests of higher consumer demand. The US Unemployment Rate fell to 4.00% the lowest in 8 months. Lastly, investors are also increasing their exposure to the index due to sellers not being able to maintain control or momentum. Some economists also increase their confidence in economic growth if Trump can obtain a positive outcome from the Ukraine-Russia negotiations.   However, during Friday’s pre-US session trading, 80% of the most influential stocks are witnessing a decline. The NASDAQ itself is trading more or less unchanged. Therefore, the question again arises as to whether the NASDAQ can maintain momentum above this area.   NASDAQ - News and Technical analysis In terms of technical analysis, the NASDAQ is largely witnessing mainly bullish indications on the 2-hour chart. However, the main concern for traders is the resistance level at $21,960. On the 5-minute timeframe, the price is mainly experiencing bearish signals as the price moves below the 200-period simple moving average.   The VIX, which is largely used as a risk indicator, is currently trading 0.75% higher which indicates a lower risk appetite. In addition to this, bond yields trade 6 points higher. If both the VIX and Bond yields rise further, further pressure may be witnessed for index traders.   Always trade with strict risk management.
